ELECTION ANALYSIS
Why not to discuss today some of the recently concluded local bodies and legislative assemblies elections.
It so happened that after demonetization, in all elections, big or small, those opposing demonetization had to face defeat. Nobody can turn his face away from this bitter truth.
Although demonetization was an important issue in these polls but not the only issue deciding results of elections.
A little more analysis tells us that some other issues were also there that had an impact on deciding the election results.
In the first place, there is no doubt that the Hon'ble Prime Minister of the country, Mr Narendra Modi's image as a clean and development oriented person, who as time demands, does not hesitate to take a tough decision like surgical strike and/or demonetization and fully justifies his slogan 'Sabka Saath 'Sabka Vikas'. All this didn't go unnoticed and was felt deeply by the people of India. This was the most important aspect due to which, be it Maharashtra, UP or Uttarakhand, people of every region appreciated this image of their beloved Prime Minister and this love of theirs towards their Prime Minister, they expressed by casting their vote in his favor.
Second important aspect of these elections was that of opposition that is disintegrated, divided and sub-divided and is fully drowned in the charges of crime and corruption. Be it Congress or NCP in Maharashtra, SP or BSP in UP, the top leadership of every opposition party, all leaders big or small are immersed neck-deep in charges of crime and corruption. In their long governing spell, it appears these leaders have remained indifferent towards general public and ignored the developmental and public interest works, thereby promoting corruption. Many parties are even devoid of competent leadership and have become laughing stock due to their top leadership. You can look at Mr Rahul Gandhi as an example.
Some parties which have anti-establishment and extreme leftist approach and appears more like Naxalite approach, too have been rejected by the people. For instance, the pathetic results of AAP in the elections of Goa and Punjab.
Third aspect is local leadership; like in Maharashtra, the CM, Mr Devendra Fadnavis, despite all odds and unfavorable conditions, established himself as an able administrator, seasoned politician and an all inclusive personality. Complete benefit of which was reaped by the BJP in elections. On the contrary the opposition displayed complete bankruptcy of skilled local leadership. For instance Mr Harish Rawat in Uttarakhand and Mr Akhilesh Yadav in UP who concentrated more on playing politics rather than doing public interest and developmental works.
A point in the end - I will call it a bad luck for opposition leaders and good luck for the country that the army of these useless  and incompetent opposition leaders are pitted against a fully competent and universally accepted leader Mr Narendra Modi established as Hon'ble Prime Minister of India.
Thanks.
